What's Hot for Weddings???

Cakes with Color!
Not only are brides turning away from the traditional white wedding cakes, they are choosing a combination of looks, shapes and colors with each new layer.
What about the flavor and filling???
Well, even the filling flavor can be different for each layer too...The possibilities are endless..
Remember your wedding cake should reflect your style and should be the center of attraction during your reception; having a beautiful masterpiece can leave your guests speechless...




Photo Booths!
Photo booths provided entertainment for guests of all ages. The atmosphere at a wedding reception is full of energy. All your friends are there as well as family members you haven't seen for a while. Capture the moment by getting your photos taken inside the photo booth and them share the images with your guests. Photos can be taken home or attached to a guest book with a special message for the bride and groom.
From wedding receptions to corporate events, a photo booth is sure to offer a unique way to capture the memories at your special event.



Signature Drinks!

Why not share your favorite cocktail, martini or wine with your entire guest on your wedding. Your signature drink should be unique, give it a fancy name that personalizes it for you! You can either select a signature drink that goes with your wedding colors or something that goes with your wedding theme. Avoid something that's too strong and choose something that appeals to a wide audience.

For example: having a martini bar at your wedding will definitely will set the mood and make your wedding stand out from the pack. If you haven't noticed, martinis aren't your standard gin, vermouth, and an olive any more. They come in a wide variety of fruit flavors and colors. Your guests will definitely love it and will remember your wedding for years to come.



Color, Color and Color!

Yes, we know white is the color for all weddings, but why not spice it up your wedding with colors...Nowadays, brides are placing colors to their wedding invitation, reception decor, linens, favors, cake and even on their flowers bouquets...
Just as important as reflecting who you are is reflecting how you feel. Color can set a tone and strike a mood, so you must, must, pick a palette that is going to put all your guests in the same mindset as you. For example, reds and oranges and yellows create a mood of excitement and fun, while pale blues, pink and greens create a mood of peace and harmony, and metallic colors bring cool elegance to the event. By choosing the right wedding colors, you will actually be able to direct the feel and flow of your ceremony and your reception.

Pink Princess Party

Wow, is being so long since my last blog, but I'm back! with full of energy again to start writing and sharing some fresh ideas...

For example:

My close friend Roxana, youngest daughter Kimberly will be 6 years old next month, and she want me to be her event planner for her daughter's birthday...

I have always found kids parties fun and lovely and this one is going to be super fun!

For little Kimberly, the color and theme for her party will be pink!
Is going to be a Pink Princess Party. She love to dance and she's currently taking ballet classes at a local Dance Studio; her mother and I, will bring the party to the dance studio for her and her friends to have a wonderful time

The decor:
When it comes to the decor I got in touch with my local Party Rental store and got the table, chairs and linens.
The table will be dress in hot pink (tablecloth) the napkins in white and the chairs will be cover in white (chair covers). To add another cute touch to the chairs, I'll be adding hot pink sashes to the chairs to make a tide...
Even though is a little girls birthday, I will still use real flowers for the centerpieces
There will be 3 teapots fill with pink spray roses and white bouvardia flowers, this will add a touch of elegance to the table
Silver plastic chargers will be place on the table and on top of them I will place tiaras for each girl along with star wands

The candy bar:
I'm planing to have a small table dress in hot pink with different type of candies for the girls to take home. The take out bag will be pink with Disney Princess faces on it

The menu
Since that everything is pink the menu also will be pink, just to name a few things, we'll have pink lemonade, chocolate cupcakes cover in pink frosty, strawberry cookies, fruit salads, pizza, pink cotton candy and more

The cake
Her cake will be a barbie pink cake with a tiara on the top.

This is going to be a fun party for the girls!

Busy....

Hey People!

I know is being a while since the last time...but I'm super busy at this time trying to plan one of my close friends wedding...
I will share all the details on my next blog...just to give something away is going to be at the beach in Fort Myers FL
Everyone take care!

Music!

When it comes to the music in general, one thing will always remain true: everyone's taste is different... And, when it comes to wedding music, people tastes seem to become even more refined...From the first step down the aisle to the last dance, the music that you choose will set the tone for your special day...

During the ceremony wedding music is allowed to be played but only at the start you need silence for the exchange of the vows and making the marriage legal, after the ceremony when you are leaving the church or garden, or office, in fact anywhere that you have been married, many newly weds play a lively happy song to guide them out of their venue and on to their wedding reception.

At the wedding reception entertainment and music is a must, whether this comes in the form of a DJ, live band or even a comedian there should be great music and good food, with lots of people dancing. It's traditional for the newly weds to have their first dance as a newly married couple before any one else has a dance on the floor, this is where you usually pick a favorite meaningful song that has a lot of significance to you and your partner as it serves as a memory reminder, whenever you hear that song from now on your mind will flash back to your first wedding dance with each other and your first day as a married couple.

Wedding music is important, it helps people to be happy. Music is an aphrodisiac and makes people feel good. And to be honest it will bring lots of laughs and happy memories as when the guests and family start to have their drinks their dancing becomes more frequent and enjoyable. A wedding brings families of the bride and groom closer so they cold even dance together to help it along, making sure that everyone has a great time and a good dance is imperative to your wedding. Not only your guests of course, you and your new husband or wife got to be sure they are having the best day of their life!

Business Cards!

If you are starting your business as an event planner take a goodly supply of your own business cards with you whatever you go...Who doesn't?? After all, you never know when you're going to get the opportunity to make a contact.

For instance, the last time I was in my local craft store looking for glass bases I found two women in the same isle complaining about their previous experience with a local florist, apparently the florist didn't do a good job for their event, so I introduce myself and told them how please I was with a previous florist I work before. I give them the name and the phone number of the florist and at the same time I told them what I do and give them my business card.

People are much more likely to be interested in talking to someone they perceive as meeting one of their needs, and much more likely to think well of someone who gives them truly useful information.

Carry your business cards with you at all times; never leave without them, even if you think you might not need them. Yes! carry them to the church, dinner parties, gym, school, anywhere; you never know when or where an opportunity can come up.

Also, make sure you advertise your business by giving your stack of cards to all vendors you know and work with you. Yes! this is another way to get business, ask them to refer people to you and leave them a stack of your business cards to hand out...

In this competitive market you have to be always ready for any new opportunities. Bring your business cares with you, introduce yourself and hand those out!

Tabletops

Tabletop designs set a mood, and further allow you to articulate your inspiration and style. A table designed with the help of a reputable floral production company can take an initial concept and bring it to life. Your atmosphere should also be carefully constructed to be nostalgic and reflective. Embroidery is increasingly requested, using monograms in the couple's favorite color hues. Personal effects, such as family heirlooms and antiques, can also be incorporated in the design, along with vivid textured linens. Floral arrangements can either be extravagant or more restrained, depending on the style in mind.
The goal of all your wedding and reception details is to create a favorable response from your guests. Designers are increasingly challenged to create multiple looks for a single event, to maintain an element of surprise for guests. Your wedding should offer several opportunities to impress your guests via the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after-party.

The Candy Buffet!

As much as I adore wedding cakes, couture wedding cupcakes, brides seem to be coming up with some pretty gorgeous alternatives. I kind of love the idea of a candy buffet, either in addition to or in lieu of a wedding cake. A candy buffet presents your wedding guests with an assortment of delectable sweet treats to choose from. All they have to do is pick out the ones they like and stuff them into provide candy containers. You can either use small boxes or bags for containers; and to add a personal touch you can stamp each one with either a love quote or anything you find fitting. To tide the bags you can also attached a simple colored ribbon...

When setting up a candy buffet, you can either stick to your wedding color schemes, or use a different one altogether. There really is no limit to what you can do...First off, set up a table with nice containers that can display your candies. You may decorate the candy buffet with flowers ribbons and candles.

A great money saving tip: Only use the larger containers for the less expensive candy and the smaller ones for the more expensive candy, no one really knows the difference but you and your pocket.

Be creative with your candy selections you can even have lollipops, candy necklaces, pretzels covered with chocolate, gummy bears, chocolates that are in shells or wrappers, instead of the truffle types that may tend to soften or melt, jelly beans, macaroons cookies and many more...

Remember the possibilities are endless when it comes to wedding candy buffet ideas you can always add candy brands that have always been your favorites, as a way of sharing a part of yourself with your guests. For sure, they will remember your colorful wedding as well as cherish and enjoy their sweet giveaways.

Candy is an excellent way to say Thank you! to your guests and kids love it too...
